There are certain kitchen cupboards which are hard to organise. Who doesn’t have a plastics cupboard that looks like mine? I can’t be the only one. If you don’t, then I hate you and envy you all at the same time and you have an OCD issue. There I said it. 🙂 But really, HOW do you do it? Whatever …
UM……
I was drying my hair the other morning and for those of you who know me, this is quite an event in itself. ( I don’t do it much). So there I am merrily working way in the bathroom, making noise, getting every strand smooth. You know the drill. I’ve had this dryer now for a few years and it …
Lighten Up People and Smile
There is so much angst in the world right now. It’s like the planet is collectively pissed off! What’s the deal? Mercury isn’t in retrograde, there’s no full moon, no major disaster. Sure, European economies are floundering like a beached whale without rescuers. I know it’s been a long hot summer in the northern hemisphere and the south is a bit …
It’s Easier to Pull Teeth with Barbed Wire than get my 8yr old to Wash.
My kid must be allergic to water or soap or maybe both. I can’t think of any other reason. She has the fun products to use in the bathroom. The bubbles for the bath or the shower gel when she’s feeling in a more grown up mood. Nothing is helping. I coax, I bribe, I yell, I barge in and …
Paleo Pizza
I’ve been looking at different paleo pizza recipes for a while now and wanted to try one. I like pizza but the crust is bad so looking for alternatives has been a challenge. The other night I cooked one I found on Paleodietlifestyle.com and although it was quite tasty, the coconut in the pastry was a bit too sweet, so …
Remembering 9/11
Living in New York brings the magnitude of 9/11 to the fore every year. We know so many people who were personally involved and their stories are incredible and tragic. We were still living in Australia at the time and from there it was all very surreal. It was horrifying and the world changed that day but it was a …
Creepy Crawlies
With the start of the school year comes all those dreaded things we loath about school. The mountains of forms to fill out, the homework we know is gonna end in tears, the bully that often rears his or her head early in the term and those nasty little buggers…. Head Lice. Don’t you just hate it when the letter …
The ‘I Need to Fix This or I’ll go Crazy’ Projects List
I’m compiling a list of projects that I’ve been putting off for a long, long time. Whether it’s because I’ve not had the energy or the emotional strength, that time has passed and I am on a new path of clearing out my life and making way for new things to happen and dwell. So profound I know but I …
Dreams of Wheat
Last night we had a break out and ordered pizza. It’s winding down the holiday time and we decided an easy dinner would be good and a fun treat. We don’t really eat it anymore and even when we do, we’ll order the thin crust, however last night The King was in control of the Papa John’s site and he …
